During the school pep rally students decided to pull a prank by telling him if he could hit a half court shot blind folded he would win tickets to this years March Madness Final Four games. The only thing was there were no tickets it was a joke, which Branstrom learned after he made the amazing shot. Even after he realized it was all a joke he still had a big smile and was happy he could make the kids at the school have a good time. Once the news got out about what happened Branstrom was told he would be getting the tickets for him and his family and all accommodations paid for. Branstrom has not said how he got them but that he was very thankful.
The game between the University of Washington and Seattle University took an unusual turn last night with less then 2 minutes remaining. In a game that never seemed to end Seattle had 6 players foul out of the game leaving only four players to finish the game. Seattle’s coach Cameron Dollar who helped led the 1995 UCLA Bruins to the national championship had one player left he could have played but opted not to because the player Adam Eakles is a red shirt freshman. If he played it would have ruined a year of eligibility in a game that was already a blowout with Washington winning 123-76.
